Reply to You are required to already have clothes if you want to go clothes shopping. by Kul3yy

There was a scene like this in a Hardy Boys novel one time... they wind up with no clothes for some reason and they have to get Chet to pick them up (in his beat up old jalopy of course) and go into the store for clothes for them. He buys them matching outfits (fucking Chet...)

It's come back to me often since then, wondering whether I could give adequate info to have someone go into a shop and buy me a fit on spec and be happy with the results

Reply to comment by Medic1248 in Everybody talks about having a CO2 detector but never what to do if the alarm goes off. by kymilovechelle

As an emergency first responder for the gas company I don’t believe there is ever a time that the fire department doesn’t call us out when someone calls them for CO. On the contrary, I am called out many times directly with people not calling 911. 95% of the time the fire department isn’t needed for the situation. If I need them to vent out the building with their gigantic fans, then I’ll call. CO detectors generally start alarming at around 35PPM CO. If the homeowner calls us immediately all I need to do is open a few windows to get a draft going and in 20 minutes the house is below 5PPM. I’d rather not tie up emergency services when they might be needed elsewhere. Just my take.
